COURSE DESCRIPTION

Recording an event using multiple cameras – called “multicam shooting” – is increasingly popular. Editing a multicam shoot in Final Cut Pro X allows us to see all those images at the same time as we edit the show. This means we can quickly compare shots and pick the best one for our story. As cameras get less expensive and editing software gets more powerful, multicam shooting is becoming the norm, not the exception, due to its speed and flexibility, even for smaller productions.

Join host, Larry Jordan, as he illustrates how to use Apple Final Cut Pro X (v.10.4.x) to edit a variety of multicam shoots. This session covers:

Multicam Basics – Terms you need to know
